I’m a terrible runner and not an athlete. I have never done a half-marathon until late 2023. But I am doing MDS in April.” It was one of those introductions that had me ..read more

There is not much shade in the Sahara, so, don’t rely on it. Marathon des Sables – The Legendary will soon be here and now is the perfect time to make sure that you plan for a series of protocols to acclimate to heat and the stress of heat before arriving in Morocco. In simple terms, you need to impose heat stress on the body that will simulate the conditions you will race in when in the Sahara. Heat exhaustion brings you to a stop and may well mean a withdrawal from the race. Acclimation to heat should be done close to competition, ideally sub 21-days and ideally in the final 14 and 7-days.

Katie Young 2024 Champion The victory loop. This stage personifies all that has gone before and arguably, is the most beautiful stage.

Cody on his way to victory A relaxed and calm night, the impact of three tough stages now taking hold and stage 3 was tough! Stage 4 brings the most climbing which basically has three parts, a tough climb to start, a rollercoaster of gravel roads and trails and then a steep and technical descent to the finish. Once at the finish, runner’s are transported to the Sierpe River for stage 4 camp. There is no coast today, no ocean, no beaches, just an epic backdrop of the Talamanca mountains. The heat today was intense despite a slight breeze that increased as the day passed. There is little shade ..read more
